Relevance. Cleft lip and palate is one of the severe malformations of the face and jaw, requiring a comprehensive approach to the rehabilitation of the patients, including doctors of various specialties, one of which is orthodontists. A feature of orthodontic treatment is difficulty of fixing bracket systems, as well as lowering the level of oral hygiene, caused by deformation and displacement of fragments of the maxillofacial region.Purpose. Improving the effectiveness of orthodontic treatment and hygiene of the oral caviti in patients with cleft lip and palate in permanent bite period.Materials and methods. A comparison was made of the effetctiveness of fixing brackets systmes with direct and indirect bonding techniques and the effectiveness of oral hygiene during orthodontic treatment using irrigators.Results. The results of the study showed a difference in the effectiveness of using direct and indirect methods of fixing bracket systems in patients with cleft and palate. The use of irrigators as additional means of oral hygiene has demonstrated a positive dynamic of hygiene indices.Conclusions. Results of the study demonstrate the advantages of fixation the brackets by indirect bonding and use additional hygiene products irrigator for improving of oral hygiene.

Objectives: Cleft lip and palate (CLP) is a congenital anomaly that affects not only the patients but also their family members and companions. Identifying the problems encountered by patients with CLP and their families can greatly help clinicians in efficient treatment planning to obviate the treatment needs and promote the quality of life of patients. This study aimed to determine the experiences of the parents of children with CLP undergoing orthodontic treatment. Methods: This study was conducted based on descriptive phenomenology using the Colaizzi’s 7-step analysis method of phenomenological data. The private orthodontic clinics of Kermanshah city were evaluated in this study. The participants included the parents of children with CLP younger than 15 years who had presented to the clinics seeking orthodontic treatment. In-depth semistructured interviews with open-ended questions were used to collect information regarding the experiences of parents in this process. The collected data were analyzed using the Colaizzi’s 7-step analysis. Results: Qualitative analysis of the interviews yielded 271 codes, 18 subthemes, 7 themes, and 3 main themes including fatigue (exhaustion, helplessness, and incompetence), self-reliance (mutual support and empathy), and the need for social support (counseling services and citizenship rights). Conclusion: In general, the results revealed that parents of children with CLP under orthodontic treatment are vulnerable due to their previous adverse experiences in the course of treatment of their children and need support in several physical, psychological, social and spiritual domains.

Objective The treatment of a patient with a complete unilateral left cleft lip and palate, agenesis of the left upper second premolar, and a severely malformed left upper lateral incisor is reported. Treatment included placement of an autologous bone graft from the left iliac crest into the alveolar cleft at 8 years of age and transplantation of a lower premolar into the reconstructed alveolar process at 10 years of age. During the succeeding orthodontic treatment, the dental arches were aligned and corrected toward a Class I molar occlusion. One year after the end of treatment, the status of the transplanted premolar was good.

Objective This paper introduces a surgical technique for premaxillary repositioning in combination with two-stage alveolar bone grafting for the correction of the premaxillary deformity of patients with bilateral cleft lip and palate (BCLP). The paper also reports on two patients with BCLP who underwent this surgical management. Surgical Procedure The operation is usually performed when the patient is 8 to 14 years of age. In the first stage of surgery, the side more accessible to the septopremaxillary junction is selected, and an osteotomy of the premaxilla and unilateral alveolar bone grafting are performed. Approximately 4 to 12 months after the first stage of surgery, contralateral alveolar bone grafting is carried out. Conclusion We have found that this surgical procedure is highly effective, because it ensures the blood supply to the premaxilla and minimizes the potential for surgical failure. Moreover, it affords wide exposure of the premaxillary bone surface, facilitating sufficient boney bridging and allowing for orthodontic tooth movement.
